HARRY LEI-IR, OF NElV YORK, N. Y.

FINGER-RING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 441,425, dated November 25, 1890.

Application filed March 19, 1890. Serial No. 344,476. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY LEHR, of New York, county and State of New York,haveinvented a certain 'new and useful Improvement in Finger-Rings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to finger-rings and other articles of jewelry having a removable setting.

I will describe a finger-Pin g embodying my invention, and then point out the novel features in the claims.

In the drawings, Figurel is a top view of a ring embodying my improvement with the stone removed from the setting-box. Fig. 2 shows a ring with the box removed. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the box removed from the ring. Fig. 4 is a side view of the box, and Fig. 5 is a'section through the line a: so of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts in all the figures of the drawings.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A designates a ring portion, and B is asetting-box removably secured to the ring portion A. The setting-box B is here shown as rectangular; but the contour of the box maybe varied. The box has upwardly-extending side flanges b and end flanges b, and the side flanges are provided with an opening or openings b to receive inwardly-extending lugs a on the ring portion A. The lugs a are rounded in crosssection, and the distance between the opposite ends of the ring portion A is somewhat less than the width of the setting-box, so that the ring must be slightly sprung to allow the lugs to enter the openings b \Vhen the lugs are in place, the spring of the ring portion will hold the ends thereof tightly against the sides of the box B. The lugs a are longitudinally perforated, and the ends of the box have perforations a in line with the perforations through the lugs.

Through these several perforations pins a pass to firmly secure the parts together. Perforated guides a extend inwardly from the perforations a, and other perforated guides a may be secured within the box between the openings 17 Of course the perforations through the guides are in line with the end perforations.

The securing-pins a may be easily drawn out when it is desired to change a setting, as it is obvious that a number of boxes B with suitable or different settings maybe supplied with one ring portion A.

I have not shown a setting in the box B, as the invention is more clearly shown without it.

Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. The combination of a ring portion having perforated lugs, a setting-box having openings in its sides to receive said lugs and having perforations in its ends, and pins for removably securing the parts together, substantially as specified.

2. The combination, with a ring portion having a perforated lug or lugs, of a setting-box having an opening or openings in its sides to receive said lug or lugs and having perforations in its ends, pins passing through the perforations in the lugs and ends, and guides for the pins within the box, substantially as specified.

3. The combination, with a setting-box having openings in its sides, of a ring portion provided with lugs to enter said openings and having a less distance between its ends than the width of the setting-box, and pins for removably securing the parts together, substantially as specified.
